Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Malik Nabers suffers concussion in Week 4 loss
Malik Nabers left Thursday night’s 20-15 loss to Dallas late after suffering a concussion. Before exiting, Nabers caught 12-of-15 targets for 115 yards. He also carried the ball once for minus-four yards.
Fantasy Impact
This is obviously not ideal news for both Giants and fantasy managers alike. Nabers has been a revelation as a rookie, having already caught 35-of-52 targets for 386 yards and three touchdowns through his first four career NFL games. Nabers was officially diagnosed with a concussion and his status moving forward should be monitored during New York’s 10-day break. The Giants’ next game is October 5 against the Seahawks in Seattle.

Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) officially limited Thursday
Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) was officially a limited participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Samuel was able to log a limited practice session on Thursday. He has been sidelined for over a week thanks to a calf injury, so it’s good to see him back out on the field with the team. His Week 4 status remains to be determined, and fantasy managers should expect him to be back in the lineup sooner rather than later.

George Kittle (hamstring) limited again Thursday
George Kittle (hamstring) was limited again at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle was limited at another practice on Thursday. He’s still dealing with a hamstring injury, and it’s unclear if he will have to miss a second-straight game on Sunday. Fantasy managers should keep tabs on what his official injury designation is following Friday’s practice.

Christian McCaffrey to test readiness ‘sooner than later’
Christian McCaffrey is going to test the readiness of his Achilles ‘sooner than later’, according to HC Kyle Shanahan.
Fantasy Impact
McCaffrey has been sidelined for several weeks thanks to a lingering Achilles issue, but he will be eligible to return from injured reserve in the near future. HC Kyle Shanahan noted that the team will test his readiness ‘sooner than later’, which means that we could see him on the field sometime in the next few weeks if things go well. Fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to McCaffrey’s recovery status moving forward.
